SSL URL REWRITE SYNTAX

[David Martinez Garcia]

Hi team.

I'm trying to write a SSL URL REWRITE expression but it doesn't work.

Imagine that I wuold write a location that covers:

www.cisco.com

www1.cisco.com/new

www.2.cisco.com/old

web.cisco.com

the fixed part here is ".cisco.com" and the headers and trailer can vary.

The experssion I wrote and doesn't work is:

.*\.cisco\.com

What I'm doing wrong?

Thank you!!

Hi David,

.*\.cisco\.com will match www.cisco.com and web.cisco.com but it will not match www1.cisco.com/new because "/". If you do .*\.cisco\.com/ then it will match www1.cisco.com/new and www.2.cisco.com/old but not www.cisco.com and web.cisco.com. I just tried that in regex builder. You can try that too. You can use .*cisco.com.* i.e wild cards both at begining and end. That should match everything before and after cisco.com.

Hi Kanwal.

What difference from:

.*cisco.com.*

to 

.*cisco\.com.*

Thank you!

Hi David,

No difference basically. In fact .*cisco\.com.* is what you should use since . has not literal meaning and that's why you use \.
